Happy Birthday Ty Christian

January 10th, 2008 I was blessed with a 8lb 5oz 23 inch long precious baby boy!! Even though the birth was not the greatest experience because of lots of complications, he is the sweetest little thing ever. The c-section itself was easy it was the spinal fluid that leaked out twice that made it pure hell!!
Some of Ty's favorite things are: sleeping with me while I rub his belly till he goes  to sleep, eating anything in site, chocolate milk is his favorite and he throws fits if I do not fix it right when he asks for it (hehe), he loves to play with swords and guns and put as many as he can into his pants and the back of his shirt, he loves to do anything to Jake to aggravate (lol) but loves his big bubba more than anything, his favorite person is pawpaw (my dad), he loves to play hide and seek with mommy, and his most favorite thing to do is dance!!! Ty was not planned but sometimes the unexpected is the biggest blessings in our life, Ty sure is!! Happy Birthday Ty Christian Mommy Loves You So Much!!!

So glad I went and bought that little cake at the grocery store yesterday incase we got snowed in and sure enough we did. We  had a make shift b-day party here at the house. I bought cupcakes and party supplies for his class, I guess we will all be sugared up for the next few days at the house! We are taking Ty to iJump in Bham for his birthday party. It's just going to be the family I expect it to be tons of fun!!

Taylor Swift - Mean

I have one mean person in my life and this song sums it all up so perfect. I know God is in control and I have been praying for almost 3 years for peace with this person. Until peace happens this song makes me laugh!

Southern Bliss Boutique

This was a random find. Me and my friend Shanda were on a little shopping trip to Russellville just to go to Wal-Mart and to Ava's. On the way back I said lets stop at this little  place, the sign is cute! And by the way this little shop use to be a TRUCK STOP!!!! So not a place we would ever stop at. Anyway, so we went in and it was GREAT!! So many cute and different outfits that I went nuts over! So all of you boutique shoppers this store is right before you get to Russellville (if you are driving from Haleyville) on the left. It is the big blue building that use to be a Truck place. You will see the cute sign that says Southern Bliss Boutique.

Jeff and his kids

Our house in the winter wonderland!!

Jake and Ty got bikes and they ride them around the house all the time! I can't wait for it to get warm enough to go outside to ride. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

All the kids have had the stomach virus the first week of Christmas vacation but Jeff and I survived and never got it. I took my kids to the Dr today and now they both have strep throat! Im ready for all the sick to go away!! It's been a wonderful vacation but ready for warm weather and healthy babies!!

Tears and Relief

Tuesday night I cried and cried and cried because the boys were having their play at school the next day and I had to go to work. I tossed and turned all night and when I got up the next morning I said the HECK with it and called in a sub so I could take my babies to pre-school and stay for their program and party! And I am so glad I did!! Jake had the part of one of the 3 blind mice and it was just precious and Ty danced. I am frustrated that I have to miss so much because of work and because work is so far away. In the near future things are really gonna change so I can be with my kids! Here are a few pics from the boys program.

Burn Out!!

I am officially BURNED OUT!! I no longer have the flame to go to work anymore!! I wished I had a refresh button but I do not. I am in grad school, teach baton, mommy to 2 boys plus 2 more, wife, teacher, drive to work an hour to and from, and well I'm just tired!!!!!!! My patience is no longer there I feel like the joy in life has been sucked out of my by all of the demanding things I have to do. I am cutting down on my list of things to do I am not sure if it will be baton, grad school, or work, but one of them is going and going to go away very soon!! I need time for Nina!! I worry and do for everyone else 24/7 and I must take some time to take care of Nina (kids first)! If the kids are with the other parent I am doing grad work or baton lessons to make extra $$ to pay for the boys pre-school! Maybe I just need a vacation alone for the weekend!! What I would REALLY like to do is take a leave of absence next year to just be a mommy, that would be PERFECT!!! Too bad it will never happen in this life!! LOL!! Just to mention I am soo jealous of Julie Greenhaw right now because I am thinking that she is at home and I am stuck in this 4 wall building!! (love you Julie but so jealous *hehe*) All of you stay at home moms, I would do anything right now to be in your shoes!! I know that is hard work too but still you are with your babies!! What brings this all out is Jake will be going to Kindergarten and it is about to kill me! I can't believe time has flown this fast but it has and I feel that I need to be closer to home. So please pray that I find a job closer to home  or I win a billlion dollars so I don't have to work!! lol!! : )

Polar Express

 

Finally got everyone to sit on the stairs at the house for a few pics.

 Everyone in their PJ's ready to go to the Polar Express

 Waiting in line to get on the train

The crew!! 7 in all!!

There is nothing like seeing the excitement on the faces of my kids when the Polar Express pulled up! We had the best time but what was so exciting is seeing their sweet little faces when Santa arrived on the train. Ty decided he is did not like Santa he only like Mrs Clause!! But finally we got a pic with him and Santa while Jeff was holding him. If you notice Jeff kinda looks like he has been beat up he hasn't....he had eye surgery and his whole face is swollen and  bruised.  Oh and War Eagle!!!!!! I am soooo excited!!
